Converting mkv

[xenotox]

Hello ... i´m new at the forum.

I am planning on converting some blurays to mkv. I hope the quality of those two will be almost identical. Wich is the best program and the best settings. Time is no problem only quality is.

Thanks in advance

If quality is important to you, don't re-encode, just rip the main video & audio track and you will have identical quality to the original (e.g. use tsmuxer or eac3to)

I think 30 gigabytes is too much for a movie... looking to reduce to 14 gigabytes.

Many movies are just around 10-20gb if you rip away extras, audio tracks, etc using tsmuxer or makemkv.

Or else use x264 encoder to shrink it, use it with a gui like ripbot264....or use makemkv and shrink the mkv using handbrake.

wich is the best if you are looking for the best quality?

There is no best.

They are the same if you use the same settings and filters and x264 version. They are all front end GUIs for x264 encoder.

And wich are the best settings for ripbot?
